Health and wellness involved more than just hospitals and health care providers in 2012. Local blood drives continued to reach out to residents for donations, and many towns held fund raisers to financially aid hospitals and other institutions devoted to health and healing.

And a labor dispute at the Meadowlands Medical Center made headlines. Here are photos from the year in health care and medicine.
